THE OMNIA, Zermatt

Share this page

Boasting a Michelin star, The Omnia is a modern restaurant with some of the most imaginative dishes in Switzerland. Situated in the hotel that goes by the same name, The Omnia is perched on a mountainside overlooking Zermatt, with the Matterhorn almost in touching distance.

The Omnia is a stylish, contemporary take on the mountain lodge; think floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek wood, dark granite and clean lines rather than traditional wood panelling and ‘rustic charm’. Even the entrance isn’t your run-of-the-mill door – the hotel is accessed through a cave, and then up an elevator through rock.

The food comes courtesy of Executive Chef Klemens Schraml who creates seasonal (and locally-sourced, where possible) dishes full of flavour – and indulgence. Expect the likes of homemade tagliatelle with Alba truffle and champagne sauce, or duck liver with Greek yoghurt and figs on the tasting menu.
